CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster Contractors in Durham, NC

If you’re researching roofers in the Durham area, you’ve probably seen terms like “CertainTeed certified” or “Select ShingleMaster” pop up. But what do those actually mean—and why should you care?

At Great Roofing & Restoration, we’re proud to hold CertainTeed’s highest credential: Select ShingleMaster Contractor. It’s not just a fancy title. This certification means we’ve completed advanced training, met strict standards, and earned the right to offer CertainTeed’s best warranties to our customers.

What Distinguishes a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster?

Becoming a Select ShingleMaster is the highest credential level a company can earn from CertainTeed. It is a prestigious status that requires years of proven experience, a commitment to ongoing education, and a documented track record of high-quality work.
To maintain this elite status, our supervisors and installation crews must be certified as Master Craftsman roofing contractors. As a homeowner, this means you are working with a roofer who:

• Understands how to install CertainTeed shingles to manufacturer specs
• Can offer upgraded warranty coverage
• Has a proven track record of great results

Why You Should Hire a CertainTeed Select Contractor

When you use Find a Pro tools to find a roofing expert, you are looking for more than just a contractor. You are seeking a guarantee of excellence. Hiring a Select ShingleMaster ensures you are working with a professional who fully understands manufacturer-approved installation techniques, which is critical for the long-term performance of your roof and the validity of your warranty.

A certified contractor provides essential protections that safeguard the homeowner. At Great Roofing & Restoration, we believe that proper insurance is non-negotiable. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance, which are strict requirements for maintaining our certified status. These policies protect you from being held liable for accidents or property damage during the project, providing a layer of security that uncertified contractors often lack.

Popular CertainTeed Shingles

We install a wide range of CertainTeed shingles, all of which are designed to function as part of the CertainTeed Integrity Roof System. This system ensures that every component, from the underlayment and starter shingles to the ridge vents, works together to provide maximum protection. Given the humid North Carolina climate, our shingle installation process focuses on high-performance ventilation and moisture barriers to prevent rot and algae growth.

Here are some of the most popular options for homeowners:

• Landmark PRO: A durable architectural shingle featuring enhanced color palettes and StreakFighter® algae resistance, specifically engineered to withstand local humidity.
• Grand Manor: A top-tier luxury shingle that mimics the depth and hand-carved look of slate with bold shadow lines—perfect for upscale homes in communities like Governors Club.
• Belmont® IR: These shingles combine the aesthetic of natural slate with Class 4 impact resistance, making them a smart, high-performance choice for storm-prone areas.

Proud to Be a Stroll Governors Club Preferred Business

We’re also proud to be a Stroll Governors Club Preferred Business, which means we’ve been trusted to work in one of the area’s most beautiful and well-known communities. For homes in Governors Club, Hope Valley, Treyburn, and other upscale neighborhoods, we often recommend CertainTeed’s luxury shingle lines that offer a high-end look and excellent performance.

Superior Warranty Coverage and Protection

One of the most significant benefits of hiring a Select ShingleMaster is the ability to offer extended warranty options that other roofers simply cannot access.

Through the CertainTeed SureStart PLUS program, we can provide the exclusive 5-Star tier warranty. This represents the ultimate in roofing protection, covering workmanship for 25 years and materials for 50 years. These industry-leading benefits are available exclusively through a Select ShingleMaster, ensuring that your investment is protected for decades to come.
